Al-Khelaifi at the centre of extortion scandal involving jailed businessman
An investigative report has been published in France this Thursday, looking into the dealings of PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and claiming he was involved in a blackmail, abuse and extortion scheme.
This was against a 41-year-old French-Algerian businessman who allegedly held compromising information about Al-Khelaifi, which could have implicated the football chief in the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.
The article has been published by Liberation and claims that the businessman in question - named as Tayeb B - was arrested on January 13, 2020, in Qatar and imprisoned until November 1, 2020.
He was only released after handing all his information over to Al-Khelaifi's lawyers and signing a confidentiality agreement.
Yet, he has spoken to the French publication and alleged that his arrest was made solely and exclusively because of an "order of the Emir of Qatar".
